Take a look at the heartwarming footage of Natalie in the video below:  [[tiktokwidget||https://www.tiktok.com/@natbysight/video/6997089154232372485]] The clip shows Natalie, whose vision is impaired, sitting at a table at Gino D'Acampo's restaurant in London. A waiter then places a delicious-looking cake in front of her, stating as he does so: "We want to wish you a happy birthday." Although the cake appears outwardly unremarkable, the icing topping it bore a special message: namely, the words: "Happy Birthday" written in braille. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263123109" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-15.44.41-1.png" alt="" width="389" height="700" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok/@natbysight]] One of Natalie's close friends can be seen guiding her hands over the confectionary happy returns of the day, prompting her to exclaim: "No freaking way. They did not!" as she read it. The video clearly resonated with other TikTok users who were touched by the sweet gesture, and the footage has now accrued more than 11.7 million views, 3.2 million reactions, and over 30,000 comments, at the time of writing. <img class="wp-image-1263123115 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-16.03.45-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1239" height="219" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] For example, one person wrote: "I bet that was the most amazing thing to witness." <img class="wp-image-1263123116 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-16.03.39-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1229" height="200" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] While another stated: "This is the perfect video for the 'who got you smiling like that' trend." <img class="wp-image-1263123119 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-16.03.19-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1244" height="207" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] A third added: "I'm at a point in my life now that every time I see something nice and kind, I'm crying." <img class="wp-image-1263123120 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-16.03.13-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1249" height="214" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Finally, this commenter added: "Now THAT is good customer service." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263123118" src="https://img.vt.co/2021/08/Screenshot-2021-08-18-at-16.03.30-1.png" alt="A TikTok comment." width="1246" height="212" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: TikTok]] Even celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo himself joined in on the fun and jumped into the comments, writing to Natalie: "Happy Birthday Bella!!
